Macroalgae are important primary producers and habitat forming organisms of the marine coastal zone. In response to different environmental parameters, the chemical composition of macroalage can change as an acclimation ...

The objective of this thesis is to investigate different strategies for the optimisation of biocatalytic anodes with a view to developing a semi- or fully implantable, miniature, membrane-less enzymatic fuel cell via ...

Methamphetamine (MA) abuse during pregnancy is a significant concern worldwide. Improving our understanding of the consequences of such exposure on the child is paramount and animal models provide an alternative method of ...

This thesis traces the origin and development of the category of diathesis (or voice) in Antiquity. According to modern linguistic theory, diathesis is a verbal category which describes the relationship between the action ...

Sediment mobility modelling is a useful tool for scientifically robust marine spatial planning and characterisation of the benthic disturbance regime. As a prerequisite to modelling sediment transport of free living coralline ...

Coral reefs are threatened globally, with habitat degradation and associated resource losses of primary concern. In the Caribbean region these losses have been increasingly well documented over the last forty years, but ...

In-stent restenosis (ISR) results from stent-induced arterial injury, characterized by a complex cascade of cellular and biochemical events. The removal of endothelium during an angioplasty procedure causes the underlying ...

This thesis is concerned with the development of methodologies for image and video quality assessment for the automotive environment, and the use of those methodologies for evaluating the effect of image and video ...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of feedstocks, such as grass and food waste, presents a sustainable and cost efficient technology for the generation of bioenergy and value added products. However, to fully optimize the process, ...
